Eddie Hearn has revealed details of Tom Aspinall’s contract amid the promoter’s ongoing feud with the UFC and Dana White.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Hearn<\/a> made major shockwaves in the world of Mixed Martial Arts<\/a> as he signed UFC heavyweight champion Aspinall to his new talent agency.<\/a><\/p>\n

The move came just two weeks after Conor Benn controversially ditched Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing to sign for UFC<\/a> boss White’s Zuffa Boxing.<\/p>\n

As part of the deal, Hearn has been granted access to Aspinall’s<\/a> UFC contract as the legendary promoter will look to work with the heavyweight on a commercial and advisory basis.<\/p>\n

Since then, Hearn hasn’t shied away from sharing his opinion on the financial side of the deal, claiming that it is a ‘f****** disgrace’.<\/p>\n

And now, he has pulled back the curtain even further, revealing just how little the UFC champion is really making. <\/p>\n

Speaking to IFL TV<\/a>, he revealed that Aspinall’s current UFC deal is seeing him take home only slightly more money than the new deal that Matchroom Boxing have recently given 23-year-old English George Liddard.<\/p>\n

He claimed: “George Liddard has just signed a new deal with us and his money is not that different to the UFC heavyweight champion who is filling the T-Mobile and Paramount are paying $60million for his fights. So it just doesn’t make sense.<\/p>\n

“You’ve got Connor Benn making \u00a315million for 10 rounds and then you’ve got a UFC fighter making less than one million who is filling the T-Mobile in Las Vegas.”<\/p>\n

Although the exact details of Aspinall’s contract are not known, it’s clear Hearn isn’t happy and it’s starting to become a bigger and bigger problem for the UFC as fighters are increasingly voicing their frustrations about their pay.<\/p>\n

At UFC London last weekend British UFC star Michael ‘Venom’ Page walked out to Michael Jackson’s ‘They Don’t Care About Us’ having openly criticised recent matchmaking and pay in the build-up to the fight.<\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile UFC legend Ronda Rousey recently claimed that fighters are now ‘living in poverty’, ahead of her comeback fight on Jake Paul’s MMA event this summer.<\/p>\n

“There is a revolt,” Hearn added.<\/p>\n

“We know Zuffa are in boxing but this move has completely f***** them in the main part of their business, the UFC.<\/p>\n

“Look at the fighters coking out with that sort of stuff, it won’t be long until they have the placards out outside the Apex.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eddie Hearn has revealed details of Tom Aspinall’s contract amid the promoter’s ongoing feud with the UFC and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":848689,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4108],"tags":[1935,4778,12434,5705,79,75056,5706,16,15],"class_list":["post-848688","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-dana-white","tag-eddie-hearn","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-tom-aspinall","tag-ufc","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116288269156399794","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/848688","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=848688"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/848688\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/848689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=848688"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=848688"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=848688"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
